Barber Chris Tatum operates CuttersCutz at 6790 University Avenue in San Diego's College Area, a one-chair studio where he has cut hair under a California barber license since 1997. The service menu runs from standard men's haircuts at $45 to haircut-and-color appointments at $75, with beard trims at $28, kids' cuts at $35, and a line-up-and-beard-trim combo at $33 filling out the mid-range of the price card. Color services distinguish CuttersCutz from fade-only shops in the 92115 ZIP, and the salon-barber hybrid scope connects to the same full-service grooming corridor where Monarch Studio in College Area handles the longer-form color, extension, and chemical-treatment work that sits outside a traditional barber's chair time. University Avenue at the 6790 block sits in the eastern stretch of College Area near the Rolando boundary, where the residential grid transitions from SDSU student rentals to single-family homes and the commercial corridor thins out from the denser El Cajon Boulevard strip to the north. Walk-ins are welcome alongside Booksy-booked appointments, with the one-on-one studio format guaranteeing that each client gets the barber's undivided attention rather than rotating between multiple chairs. The shop is open to all and serves all hair textures, with the service list covering straight-hair scissor cuts, curly and coily fade work, and textured crop styles that require blade-and-clipper combination technique. Mobile house calls are available at $100, a service tier that covers clients who need barber visits at home, on set, or at event locations across San Diego. The post-cut grooming experience extends into bodywork for clients who schedule grooming and wellness on the same day, and Thai Tradition Massage in College Area handles the therapeutic side of that self-care routine. Twenty-seven years of continuous licensure in the same trade means Tatum has adapted his clipper and razor technique through multiple eras of men's style, from the low-maintenance buzz cuts of the late 1990s through the high-skin-fade and textured-top precision work that dominates current barber culture.
